Puerto Rico Relief Collection by Lin-Manuel – One of the things that struck me as I looked at this – the lyrics to Lin-Manuel Miranda’s lyrics to “Almost Like Praying” (love the “West Side Story” inspiration!) is how many of these town’s records I’ve had cause to delve into. Occasionally for a celeb’s roots – like those of LMM himself – but far more often for military heroes who sacrificed their lives for America in WWII, Korea, etc.
